 Syria, which had suffered from terrorism, stands by the international efforts exerted to uproot terrorism for reaching a world free of the armed conflicts and governed by the international law and principles of legitimacy resolutions, Syrian delegation interposition at the International Parliamentary Federationâs General Assembly underlined Thursday. â It is the time for extirpation of terrorism source and giving up arbitrary and oppression policy as well for distinction between terrorism and peoplesâ right to resist the occupation and liberate their homes.â The interposition said.
| They continue repeating themselves, that one man's terrorist is another man's freedumb fighter. That worked for years, and they're trying to figure why it doesn't work anymore. But there's a difference between intentional, non-collateral attacks on civilians and conducting warfare against legitimate military targets. Recent years have emphasized the fact and now it won't go away. |
In another interposition at meeting of the Federationâs second permanent committee on immigration and development, the delegation pointed out at damages of involuntary immigration resulted from civil wars, armed occupation and immigration under the political pressure. The delegation gave an example on coercive displacement that our citizens in the occupied Syrian Golan and in Palestine are exposed to at the hands of the Israeli occupation, calling on the international community to condemn coercive displacement and refuse all kinds of racial and ethnic immigration.
| And again we're raising the Israeli specter. But Yasser's dead and Gaza's the kernel of a Paleostinian state, assuming the Paleos can manage to govern it. The world has changed out from under the Baathists in Damascus, and it's like they haven't even been paying attention... |
In a third interposition during discussing a draft report of the third permanent committee, the delegation said that democracy is not a one form that suits all peoples but rather it is forms inspired by peoplesâ life and it must match with their free will in addition to their political, social and economic circumstances.
| Democracy may or may not be for every society, but individual liberty is. It's one of the principles of Baathism that rights accrue to the state, rather than to the individual, who's relegated to being a cipher among the faceless Massesâ¢. Once you've embraced the principle of freedom at the individual level, you've negated the premise of Baathism. Assad can't do that, so all arguments have to be rephrased into Baathist terms. Humpty Dumpty would understand, though the rest of us will continue to find it gibberish. |
Syria effectively took part at deliberations of International Parliamentary Federationâs General Assembly which concluded its 113th session in Geneva today. |
